Zusammenfassung

Cloud computing offers readily available, scalable infrastructure to tackle problems involving high data volume and velocity. Discovering processes from event streams, especially when the business processes execute in a cloud environment, is such a problem. Event stream data is generated rapidly with varying volume and must be processed on-the-fly, making stream processing an important use case for cloud computing. This paper describes a distributed, streaming implementation of the flexible heuristics miner on Amazon Kinesis, a cloud-based event stream infrastructure, showing how mining methods can scale effortlessly to tens of millions of events per minute.
